MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
DATE : February 28 , 1991
RE: ISSUER'S COUNSEL - CITY HALL REVENUE BONDS
Attached is a letter from Paul Rosenthal discussing the need
of Issuer ' s Counsel on the Revenue Bond for City Hall and
Police . As you can see, as City Attorney, he can make no
recommendation to you .
I discussed this with Craig Hunter and he agreed with me that
to go out and hire a separate Issuer's Counsel would be more
expensive and not necessary . He suggested that possibly we
use Grace Dunlap out of Foley & Lardner' s Tampa office as both
Bond Counsel and Issuer' s Counsel in the amount of $2 , 500
additional dollars .
I would strongly urge that you approve this method and save
approximately $10, 000 .
Respectfully Submitted,

MEMORANDUM February 25 , 1991
TO Mr. Ellis Shapiro, City Manager, City of Ocoee
FROM Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq. , City Attorney
RE Issuer's Counsel for Capital Improvement
Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 (City Hall and
Police Station Expansion)
This memorandum is to confirm our conversation regard-
ing the retaining of Issuer's Counsel for the above-
referenced Bond Issue. Foley & Lardner, through its
Tampa Office, is serving as Bond Counsel in connection
with the Bond Issue. As a result, Foley & Lardner, as
City Attorney, cannot provide the City with an inde-
pendent review of work performed by Bond Counsel . In
order to proceed with the Bond Issue, the City may
either (i) retain independent counsel to serve as
Issuer's Counsel and to render all necessary opinions
in connection therewith, or (ii) retain Bond Counsel
to also serve as Issuer's Counsel with respect to any
opinions which might need to be rendered.
Foley & Lardner through W. R. Hough & Co. will provide
a fee quotation regarding the additional costs involved
in serving as Issuer ' s Counsel . Any such fee quotation
will relate solely to the rendering of the necessary
Issuer's Counsel opinion and will not involve work which
would normally be performed by the City Attorney or an
independent review of the financing documents . Normally,
Foley & Lardner would not agree to be retained as both
Bond Counsel and Issuer' s Counsel in order to avoid any
appearance of conflict and to assure an independent re-
view.
Under the current circumstances, an independent review
of the financing documents may not be necessary. The
Florida League of Cities has worked with W. R. Hough &
Co. and Foley & Lardner to design a set of documents
which may be easily and inexpensively utilized by local
governments for small bond issues . If the City is will-
ing to accept the package of documents prepared in con-
junction with the Florida Leauge of Cities, then it may

save the cost of an independent review. You may wish
to discuss the need for independent Issuer ' s Counsel
with Craig Hunter and the City' s Financial Advisor
to the Bond Issue .
We have requested that our Tampa Office submit a fee
quotation as an accommodation to the City. We have
no recommendation regarding the course of action which
should be taken by the City.
If you require any additional information, please let
me know.

Re: City of Ocoee Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds
Dear Mr. Shapiro:
Please find enclosed both a blacklined copy and a clean
copy of the Resolution to go out in the agenda packet for
consideration by the Commission at the March 5th meeting. The only
item which I was lacking as of this afternoon was the name of the
bank which the City wishes to use as the Paying Agent and Registrar
for the Bonds. This will need to be typed into Section 4 . 08 of the
Resolution.
Our fee to act as bond counsel, based upon the sliding
scale arrangement through the Capital Financing Assistance Program
of the Florida League of Cities is $6, 100. As discussed in Paul
Rosenthal's memo of February 25, 1991, we would be happy to also
render an opinion as Issuer's Counsel on the City's behalf. I have
spoken with Craig Hunter at William R. Hough & Co. about serving in
this dual capacity. He seemed to think this would be the most
economical route for the City to take. Our fee to additionally
render the required opinion as Issuer's Counsel and undertake the
due diligence activities relating to that opinion would be $2 , 500.
Again, as Paul said, the City should feel free to retain
other attorneys to act as counsel to the City if it so desires.
Mr. Ellis Shapiro
February 26, 1991

Thank you in advance for the opportunity to provide
services to the City. I look forward to working with you on this

Until the Bonds are paid or deemed paid pursuant to the provisions of the Resolution, the City has
covenanted to appropriate in its annual budget,by amendment if necessary,from non-ad valorem revenues legally
available to the City in each Fiscal Year,amounts sufficient to pay the principal of,redemption premium,if any,
and interest on the Bonds, as the same become due (whether by redemption, at maturity or otherwise).
Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the City, the City has not covenanted to maintain any services or
programs, now provided or maintained by the City, which generate non-ad valorem revenues.
With regard to the covenant to budget and appropriate described above, such covenant to budget and
appropriate non-ad valorem revenues is not a pledge by the City of such non-ad valorem revenues and is subject
in all respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such non-ad valorem revenues of the city
heretofore or hereafter entered into,including the payment of debt service on bonds or other obligations. Such
covenant to budget and appropriate is subject to the provisions of Section 166.241(3), Florida Statutes, which
makes it unlawful for the City to expend moneys not appropriated and in excess of the City's current budgeted
revenues. Such covenant does not require the City to levy and collect any particular non-ad valorem revenues
nor to maintain or continue any particular non-ad valorem revenues.
3
In the Resolution, the City has covenanted that it shall on March 5 and September 5 of each year
deposit funds into the Revenue Fund established pursuant to the Bond Resolution in an amount sufficient to pay
the next succeeding principal and interest payments due on the Bonds. Until the City takes the action described
in the immediately preceding sentence, the Owner has no lien or security interest in the moneys budgeted for
such deposit.
In addition to the foregoing, the Bonds are secured by a pledge of, and a lien upon: (a) all moneys
deposited and held from time to time by the City in certain of the funds and accounts established pursuant to
the Bond Resolution;(b)investment income received by the City in certain of the funds and accounts established
pursuant to the Bond Resolution and (c) any other moneys received by the Paying Agent in connection with
repayment of the Bonds.
THE BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM AND
SECURED ONLY FROM REVENUES AS PROVIDED IN RESOLUTION NO._,AS AMENDED AND
SUPPLEMENTED (THE"BOND RESOLUTION"). THE BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A GENERAL
OBLIGATION, DEBT, OR LIABILITY OF THE CITY OR OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA OR OF ANY
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION,AGENCY, OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE CITY OR OF THE STATE
OF FLORIDA, WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION, AND NEITHER THE
FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OR THE STATE OF FLORIDA,OR
ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION, AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE CITY OR OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA, IS PLEDGED FOR PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF, INTEREST ON,AND
PREMIUM, IF ANY, WITH RESPECT TO THE BONDS.
Additional Debt Payable from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues
The City covenants and agrees that it will not issue any additional debt unless the City can show that
following the issuance of or incurring of such additional indebtedness, (a) the total amount of non-ad valorem
revenues (based on the most recent fiscal year) will be greater than 1.75 times the Maximum Bond Service
Requirement for all Bonds and long term debt then outstanding and the proposed Additional Debt. This
requirement does not preclude the City from pledging any specific non-ad valorem revenue as security for future
debt issues.
"Additional Debt"shall mean debt of the City payable from its non-ad valorem revenues which does not
include non-ad valorem revenue derived from the City's enterprise funds or special revenue funds as such funds
are designated in the City's financial statements, which debt is issued in accordance with the provisions of the
Bond Resolution.
"Maximum Bond Service Requirement" shall mean, as of any particular date of calculation, an amount
equal to the largest Bond Service Requirement for the then current or any future Bond Year.
DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN SOURCES OF NON-AD VALOREM REVENUES
Half-Cent Sales Tax
Pursuant to Chapter 212 and Part VI of Chapter 218, Florida Statutes, one-half cent of the 6% sales
tax collected by the State in each City is required to be deposited in the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax
Clearing Trust Fund in the State Treasury and is earmarked for distribution to each County and each
participating municipality within each such County.
4
The half-cent sales tax is distributed to the governing body of each County and each participating
municipality within each such county on a monthly basis in accordance with the following formula:
County's Share unincorporated area 2/3 x incorporated
(percentage of = population + area population
total tax total county 2/3 x incorporated
receipts) population area population
Municipality's
Share = municipality population
(percentage of total county + 2/3 x incorporated
total tax population area population
receipts)
The formula is revised each year based upon the population estimates prepared by the University of
Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research. In order to be eligible to receive the half-cent sales tax,
the City must certify to the State Department of Revenue each year that it has complied with certain
requirements set forth in Chapter 218.23, Florida Statutes. The City has never failed to comply with such
requirements.
Franchise Fees
The City receives 6% of the revenues from the sale of electrical energy to residential, commercial and
industrial customers within the corporate limits of the City,net of taxes and licenses paid to the City. The City's
agreement with Florida Power and Light,which was effective December 20, 1955 will be up for renewal April
21,2000. In addition,the City has existing franchises with cable TV companies and United Telephone Company.
Utility Service Tax
Section 166.231,Florida Statutes,authorizes municipalities to levy a tax on the purchase of certain utility
services within the municipality at a rate not to exceed 10%of the payments received by the seller of the taxable
item. The City has adopted an ordinance levying a utility tax on the purchase of electricity, metered or bottled
gas and telecommunication services in the City. The City's tax is imposed at a rate of 10% on the purchase of
electric and metered or bottled gas service and telecommunication service. The tax is paid to the seller of the
utility service and is remitted by said seller to the municipality as prescribed by local ordinance. Federal, State,
other public bodies,church buildings used for church purposes and the utilities providing the service,are exempt
from the tax.
Municipal Revenue Sharing - Guaranteed Entitlement
Chapter 218, Part II, Florida Statutes, describes the structure of the State's revenue sharing program.
The Municipal Revenue Sharing Trust Fund contains funds from three sources:
• 32.4%of the net collection of the 33.9 cents per pack cigarette tax authorized by Section 210.20,
Florida Statutes
• proceeds from the one cent Municipal Gas Tax levied pursuant to Section 206.605, Florida
Statutes and
• 25% of the proceeds from the State Alternative Fuel Decal Users Fee collected pursuant to
Section 206.877, Florida Statutes.

Several formulas are used to determine the distribution of funds to local governments. These formulas
use measures of population,area,economic activity and property assessments to derive a factor which represents
a local government's proportional share of the funds to be distributed. These proportions are calculated annually
by the Florida Department of Revenue(DOR),which has the responsibility for administering the revenue sharing
program. In general though,municipalities incorporated prior to 1972 receive a"hold harmless or guaranteed"
amount equal to what they received in FY 1971-72 (the "Guaranteed Entitlement"). Remaining monies in the
trust fund after this distribution are referred to as "growth monies", and are distributed to all eligible
municipalities according to formulas developed by the DOR.
License and Permit Fees
License and Permit Fees include occupational license and inspection fees plus revenues from building
permits.
Charges for Services
Charges for services consist of recreation, public safety, zoning, inspection and administration fees.
Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and Forfeitures consist of fines and penalties collected in the City due to violations of criminal
and civil laws and City ordinances, and court costs assessed against defendants.

LEGAL OPINION/LEGAL MATTERS
Legal matters incident to the issuance of the Bonds and with regard to the tax-exempt status of the
interest on the Bonds (see "Tax Exemption"herein) are subject to the legal opinion of Foley& Lardner,whose
legal services as Bond Counsel have been retained by the City. A signed copy of the opinion, dated and
premised on law in effect as of the date of delivery of the Bonds will be delivered to the Underwriter at the time
of delivery, and the text of the opinion will be attached to the Bonds.
The text of the proposed legal opinion is set forth as Appendix D. The actual legal opinion to be
delivered may vary from the text if necessary to reflect facts and law on the date of delivery. The opinion will
speak only as of its date,and subsequent distribution of it by recirculation of the Official Statement or otherwise
shall create no implication that Bond Counsel has reviewed or expresses any opinion concerning any of the
matters referred to in the opinion subsequent to its date.
Certain legal matters will be passed on for the City by Foley& Lardner, Orlando, Florida.
TAX EXEMPTION
Federal Tax Matters
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the"Code"), contains a number of requirements and
restrictions which apply to the Bonds,including investment restrictions, a requirement of periodic payments of
arbitrage profits to the United States,requirements regarding the use of bond proceeds and the facilities financed
therewith, and certain other matters. The City has covenanted to use its best efforts to comply with all
requirements of the Code that must be satisfied in order for the interest on the Bonds to be excluded from gross
income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements could cause
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
Subject to the condition that the City comply with the pertinent requirements of the Code,under existing
law,in the opinion of Bond Counsel,interest on the bonds will be excluded from the gross income of the owners
thereof for federal income tax purposes and will not be treated as an item of tax preference in computing the
alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. Reference is made to a proposed form of the bond
Counsel opinion attached hereto as Appendix D for the complete text thereof.
In rendering the opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon certificates of the City with respect to certain
material facts relating to the property fmanced with the proceeds of the Bonds and the application of the
proceeds of the Bonds.
The Code contains numerous provisions which could affect the economic value of the Bonds to certain
owners of the Bonds. The following is a brief summary of some of the significant provisions that may be
applicable to particular owners of the Bonds. Prospective owners of the Bonds, however, should consult their
own tax advisors with respect to the impact of such provisions on their own tax situations.
Assuming the City can recertify certain representations and findings made by the City in the Resolution
upon the issuance of the Bonds,the Bonds are"qualified tax-exempt obligations" (within the meaning of Section
265(b)(5) of the Code),and in the case of certain financial institutions(within the meaning of Section 265(b)(5)
of the Code),a deduction is allowed for 80%of that portion of the interest expense of such financial institutions
which shall be allocable to interest on the Bonds.
8
Insurance companies (other than life insurance companies) are required for all taxable years beginning
after 1986 to reduce the amount of their deductible underwriting losses by 15% of the amount of tax-exempt
interest received or accrued on certain obligations, including the Bonds, acquired after August 7, 1986. If the
amount of the reduction exceeds the amount otherwise deductible as losses incurred, such excess may be
includable in income. Life insurance companies are subject to similar provisions under which taxable income
is increased by reason of receipt or accrual of tax-exempt interest, such as interest on the Series 1990 Bonds.
Interest on the Bonds must be included in the adjusted net book income of corporations (other than
S corporations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and REMICs) for taxable years
beginning in 1986,1988 and 1989,and such corporations are required to include in their calculation of alternative
minimum taxable income 50% of the excess of adjusted net book income over alternative minimum taxable
income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses).
For taxable years beginning after 1989, the use of"adjusted net book income" is to be replaced with "adjusted
current earnings". Interest on the Bonds will be included in"adjusted current earnings." For such taxable years,
the alternative minimum taxable income of corporations must be increased by 75% of the excess of adjusted
current earnings over alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and
prior to reduction for certain net operating losses).
An environmental tax is imposed on corporations (other than S Corporations, regulated investment
companies, real estate investment trusts and REMICs) by Section 59A of the Code. The environmental tax is
effective for taxable years beginning after 1986 and before 1992. The amount of the environmental tax is equal
to 0.12% of the excess of the alternative minimum taxable income(determined without regard to net operating
losses and the deduction for the environmental tax) over $2 million. The environmental tax may be imposed
even if the corporation pays no alternative minimum tax because the corporation's regular income tax liability
exceeds its alternative minimum tax liability. For purposes of the environmental tax,alternative minimum taxable
income includes interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, to the same extent and in the same
manner as such interest is included in alternative taxable income as described in the preceding paragraph.
Certain recipients of social security benefits and railroad benefits are required to include a portion of
such benefits in gross income by reason of the receipt or accrual of interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as
the Bonds.
For foreign corporations operating branches in the United States, Section 884 of the code imposes a
branch level tax on certain earnings and profits in tax years beginning after 1986. Interest on tax-exempt
obligations, such as the Bonds, may be included in the determination of such domestic branches' taxable base
on which this tax is imposed.
Passive investment income, including interest on the Bonds,may be subject to federal income taxation
under Section 1375 of the Code for S corporations which have subchapter C earnings and profits at the close
of the taxable year and greater than 25%of the gross receipts if the S corporation consists of passive investment
income.
Florida Tax Matters
It is also the opinion of Bond Counsel that,under existing law, the Bonds and the interest thereon are
exempt from taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and taxes on interest,
income or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations as defined by Chapter 200, Florida Statutes, as
amended.

LITIGATION
In the opinion of Foley & Lardner, Orlando, Florida, no legal proceedings are pending or to the best
of their knowledge threatened which materially affect the City's ability to perform its obligations to the Holders
of the bonds or materially affect the financial condition of the City.
There is no litigation or controversy of any nature now pending or, to the best knowledge of the City,
threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the bonds or in any way contesting
the validity of the Bonds or any proceedings of the City taken with respect to the authorization, sale or issuance
of said Bonds or the pledge or application of any moneys provided for the payment of the Bonds.
ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES
The remedies available to the owners of the Bonds upon an event of default under the Resolution are
in many respects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existing
constitutional and statutory law and fiducial decisions, the remedies specified by the Resolution and the Bonds
may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the
delivery of the bonds (including Bond Counsel's approving opinion) will be qualified, as to the enforceability of
the various legal instruments, by limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization,insolvency or other similar
laws affecting the rights of creditors enacted before or after such delivery.
NO VALIDATION
Validation was not required by law for the issuance of the Bonds and the bonds were not submitted for
validation.
RATINGS
Ratings may be applied for by the City.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Included in Appendix C are the General Purpose Financial Statements of the City of Ocoee as of
September 30, 1990 which have been examined by the City's independent certified public accountant.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR

of the bonds. Evenson Dodge,Inc. is a financial advisory and consulting organization and is not engaged in the
business of underwriting, marketing or trading of municipal securities or any other negotiable instruments.

Transportation
The Orlando MSA is primarily served by Orlando International Airport. Orlando International
Airport ranks as the 17th busiest domestic facility and the 25th busiest world facility. Designated an
international port of entry with full customs service, the airport has grown tremendously since 1970. Air
passengers have increased from 1.3 million in 1971 to over 173 million in 1989. Forty-seven air carriers
serve the Orlando area with more than 450 daily flights. The third runway at Orlando International Airport
opened in September of 1989, while the fourth runway is currently being reviewed in the DRI process. The
construction of a third airside terminal and an expansion of the landside terminal is nearing completion.
The area is also served by three satellite airports: Orlando Executive Airport, Central Florida
Regional Airport and Kissimmee Municipal Airport.
Orange County is crossed by Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike. The Martin Anderson Beeline
Expressway links the east coast beaches with Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike. The Holland East-West
Expressway expedites traffic through the City of Orlando. The Orlando/Orange County Expressway Authority
recently completed a portion of the Eastern Beltway in Orange County as well as the eastern expansion of
the East-West Expressway. Recently opened is the remaining portion of the Eastern Beltway in Orange
County as well as the western extension of the East-West Expressway. Future plans include the completion
of the belt line around the Orlando area as well as the Central Connector that will connect downtown
Orlando with the Orlando International Airport; consideration is also being given to the feasibility of a transit
system between the airport and the International Drive area.
The metropolitan area is served by 35 common-carrier trucklines, most of which have local terminals
and several parcel delivery and package express services covering Orange County and neighboring
communities. Greyhound, Gray Line, Superior and Trailways Bus Lines offer charter, express and passenger
services. Greyhound recently opened its new $2.4 million complex in west Orlando.
Both passenger and freight rail systems provide service to the area. Amtrak currently operates two
trains daily between New York and the Orlando area. CSX Transportation moves freight between north and
south Atlantic points and connects with all major U.S. rail lines.
A-3
Seaboard Coastline Railroad provides freight service to the area. Rail passenger stations in the
Orlando area are among the busiest in the southeast with 600 Amtrak passengers arriving and departing on
four daily trains.

Employment
Prior to 1967, the Orlando MSA economy was based upon agricultural and citrus products, tourism,
light manufacturing and industries relating to the space program at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape
Canaveral. Over the past sixteen years, construction of Walt Disney World, EPCOT Center, Disney-MGM
Studios, Sea World, Universal Studios Florida, and other tourist attractions, together with increasing
convention activity, have played an important part in the local economy. This had resulted in a larger share
of total employment being represented by the trade and service areas when compared with the national
average. During 1989, annual average employment in Orange County grew to 386,324 with an average
unemployment rate of 5.0%.
